Sorry you can't afford to buy new technology and have to resort to people's
cast aways.

Actually, I'm not sorry at all.

I just did a quick calculation and found that indeed 90% of the time I am in
close proximity to an actual computer with a real keyboard and large screen.
I use a cell phone for the other 10% of the time when I am out and about,
not near my home or office. lol

so you finally admit you aren't keeping up with the fast moving world of
wireless, you are still stuck with expensive, low end iron...

these charts show what is actually going on...

Roaming is indeed unique to cellphones when it comes to real world
expectations.

about 1/2 of ebay items are brand new, so catch a clue.

professional gear is up there too if you don't understand the market...

lastly, please tell everyone how used wireless is different than new
wireless?

hint: it's the same, just costs less.

Oxford caught moving the goal posts again.
